SAFETY UPDATE - ALL CLEAR: SHES families, thank you for your patience. The fire alarm was activated by a laminator in our building. Following a swift response from Fire and EMS, the building is cleared for students to return, and normal operations will resume. Many thanks to our first responders for their help today.
We are back in the building and ready to continue our learning day! Today was great practice for a real emergency and we learned that our smoke alarms work well. Thank you to our first responders! Remember to check your alarms and have a plan.
At this time, Snow Hill Elementary School has been evacuated due to the fire alarm. Our evacuation procedures have been activated. The safety of our those involved remains our priority, and we will provide further information as it becomes available. Fire Services are on the way and all students and staff are safe.
IMPORTANT: Please see the below statement from Worcester County Board of Education President, Todd Ferrante:
The Worcester County Board of Education held a special closed session meeting this morning to further discuss the school safety matters brought forth in the joint letter from the Worcester County State’s Attorney and Sheriff’s offices.
As school safety is of the upmost importance to the Board, we are thoughtfully reviewing both the information previously presented by our law enforcement officials as well as the information presented today from school system leadership. We truly appreciate our school system community’s patience as we examine these matters with the focus and care that it deserves.
The Board has decided today to extend the closed session of the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, in order to further discuss these matters. The Board will now open the regular meeting on this date at 9:00 a.m. to immediately vote to move into closed session. It is my hope that the Board of Education will be able to address our school system community during the regularly scheduled open session, which will begin at 12:30 p.m.
Again, we thank our community for their patience and understanding as we work toward resolving this matter.
